The clansmen also retreated one after another. They had to get up at Maoshi (five o'clock in the morning) to get ready, and at Chenshi (seven o'clock in the morning) they waited on the side of the road to summon their souls, and then returned to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

Although they don't have to bow three times and nine times to salute like Li Hong and the others when they wait outside, it is also very hard to bask in the sun. It is almost noon at this time, and the young and strong are fine, while the older ones already need to rely on others Only with help can I go out.

This is because they belong to the Xinglin family, and they have paid attention to health preservation since they were young. Otherwise, if they are in their fifties or sixties, they can stand for half a day when the sun is the most venomous, such as June and July, and they will be able to shed a layer of skin without dying.

So no one bothered to pay attention to the people in Wufang, and they all retreated with the flow of people.

In front of the ancestral hall, only the head of the Li clan and a few side owners who were able to talk were left.

And Li Jun, Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun.

Li Jun took a step back, saluted Li Xie and the elders, and said, "Grandpa, I want to go to Qiongzhou with my second sister to move the tombs of my grandparents, uncles and aunts back to my ancestral grave, and ask my grandpa to help choose the cemetery."

Li Xie was slightly stunned, but it made sense when he thought about it, he couldn't have all his descendants in Shunde, but their graves were in Qiongzhou, and no one would visit the graves in the future, just thinking about it made him feel a little chilled.

He nodded and said, "Alright, when do you plan to leave?"

Li Jun looked at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu said: "Taking advantage of the holiday, we'll go early and return early, so we decided to leave on the first day of junior high school."

Then there are still two days, Li Xie frowned, this time is too tight. But considering that Li Baolu is still teaching at Qingxi Academy, and the vacation is not long, it is understandable.

Li Xie thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we finish the stock transfer today?"

What Li Xie thought was that Li Baolu was the middleman between the two parties, and he had to understand this matter while she was there, so as not to cause further troubles. Little did he know that he fell into the trap of Li Baolu and Li Jun.

So he laughed and said, "I'll send someone to invite your father too."

Li Jun's heart tightened, but Li Baolu smiled and said, "I saw that my second uncle's face was pale just now. He injured his body in Qiongzhou, and he has reached the limit of his body this morning. I'm afraid it won't help his body to invite him again." Isn’t Cousin Jun right here, with my husband and I as witnesses, and a few more respected in-laws to testify, it’s almost enough.”

Li Baolu said with a smile: "I can still trust Grandpa in this regard."

Li Xie felt relieved when he heard the words, and immediately smiled and said: "That's good, it happens that your uncles are all here, so I'll introduce you right now."

In his opinion, handing over with Li Jun is better than handing over with Li Hong. Who knows if that bastard will raise the price halfway or cause trouble?

What's more, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If Li Hong had two or more children, he would definitely not let Li Jun replace Li Hong.

But doesn't Li Hong only have one son now?

This family business will definitely belong to Li Jun in the future, and father and son are one. Of course, he would not think that Li Hong and his son are at odds, and have even reached the point where fire and water are incompatible.

Li Xie, who didn't know about it, led Li Jun to the warehouse to hand over the money, while Li Sheng and the other two cousins ​​went to get the seal, the contract documents, and the in-laws who wanted to testify.

Li Xie asked someone to open the warehouse and let him look at the box inside, "160,000 silver is not a small amount, if it is all given to you in silver bills, you will have to pay a lot of handling fees to take it out, so in addition to 40,000 Apart from the two silver bills, the remaining 120,000 taels are gold and silver."

Li Xie opened the box to show them, and there were 3,000 taels of gold in it, 30,000 taels of silver, and the remaining 90,000 taels of silver.

After counting the money, Li Sheng also quickly found the things and people, and the two parties signed an agreement in the warehouse, and Wufang officially gave up the shares of Tongxintang.

Li Baolu and the invited witnesses also stamped and signed on it, and this contract came into effect.

Not only Li Xie, but the cousins ​​behind him all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they have paid a lot, fortunately there will be no more disputes in the future.

Li Xie turned to Li Jun and said with a smile: "The warehouse in your house is empty, I'll ask my servants to help you move your things there."

Li Jun glanced at Li Baolu, shook his head and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, but there's no need, we invited some people to come here before, just let them go back to the capital."

Li Xie was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little unhappy, thinking that Li Jun didn't trust them, so he was in a hurry to transport the money away. He said with a slightly calm face: "That's fine, since you have invited people, let them come in."

Li Jun asked a servant of Li's family to inform people in the guest courtyard rented by the dental office, and the steward of the dental office soon came with his assistants, clerks and accountants.

Everyone borrowed some money from the Li family's treasury to settle accounts.

Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun followed Li Xie to eat a good meal, and when they came back, they saw Li Jun hastily stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, and then turned their heads to settle accounts with the dental office manager.

They bought three houses in the capital. They were not together, but they were not far apart. The ones under the names of Li Liu and Li He were smaller, with only two entrances, but the one Li Jun bought was larger, with three entrances. , there are a lot of rooms inside, and the inverted buildings and ear rooms are all well done, so they are not cheap.

In addition, I bought several big shops in Baoding and two hundred hectares of land in Daning. The total cost of these was 121,489 taels. One thousand four hundred taels in case.

And there are 90,000 taels of silver and 3,000 taels of gold in this treasury. After removing the 90,000 taels, the value of the 3,000 taels of gold has to be recalculated.

Li Xie was unwilling to argue with Li Hong again, so the gold was given to them at a ratio of 1:10, but in fact the ratio of silver to the gold team was always fluctuating.

Today's ratio is 1:11.8, and Li Jun has to follow this ratio if he pays in gold. After paying the bill, Li Jun will still have 4,000 taels of silver left.

After the accounts were settled and the money counted, the people in the dental office left four thousand taels of silver in the warehouse, and the rest were loaded into the cart.

The steward of the tooth shop looked at Li Jun with a smile, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, let's go to the yamen to make a paperwork first, how about we go to cancel the paperwork after I get back to Beijing and get all the paperwork done for you?"

Li Jun nodded, "OK."

Li Jun asked people to move the remaining 4,000 taels of silver back to Li's house, and he went to the yamen with the steward of the dental office.

When Li Xie realized something was wrong and rushed over, Li Jun and Yaxing's people had already left and disappeared.

He hurriedly turned around and chased after Li Baolu, "Baolu, who is helping Brother Jun with the silver? Why did you leave four thousand taels of silver alone? How did I hear that they settled accounts in the warehouse? What account?"

Li Baolu smiled and said, "It was Cousin Jun who bought some properties, and those are all from the dental practice."

"What industry costs 120,000 taels? Don't be fooled!"

"It's some houses, shops and fields," Li Baolu reassured, "Don't worry, it's all real estate. It's genuine, and it can't be cheated."

Li Xie didn't know how to react, how much real estate would have to be bought for 120,000 taels, and Li Jun was too bold.

But seeing Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun's indifferent expressions, they obviously knew about it. Since they are sure that they are not being cheated, why should he worry about it?

Li Xie can only go home.

But other people who paid attention to Wufang almost gritted their teeth. They spent almost all the money before they had time to earn it?

Really...

But it doesn't matter, if you remove the 120,000, there will be 40,000 taels. When the time comes, take Li Jun to drink some wine, soothe your relationship, and make business together to make it bigger.

Just when everyone was holding hands with a few ideas that could be used to start a business, Li Baolu returned to the Li family's ancestral house with two boxes of silver.

Mrs. Mei and her two daughters were looking around on tiptoes, and when they saw this, they hurried up to ask, "Where's Brother Jun?"

"He and the steward of the dental office went to the Yamen to set up a bill. This is the remaining silver. Where do you think they should put it?"

Mei was startled, and immediately turned around to look around, only to be relieved when Li Hong didn't show up, she lowered her voice and said, "Well, let's put it in the utility room first."

Li Hong lives in the second entrance, if he lifts the box into the warehouse of the second entrance, he might wake up with a start. Mrs. Mei didn't dare to let him know about it, and insisted on the principle of being able to hide it for a while, resolutely Don't let him notice.

Not to mention Li Heliliu, who personally led the way and asked the servants to carry the things to the utility room.

Seeing the commotion here, Mrs. Mei was afraid of waking Li Hong up, so she hurriedly handed over the matter here to her daughter, and went to the second entrance to see Li Hong.

Li Hong happened to wake up. He felt better after sleeping for a long time. He felt hungry, so he got up and ate a snack when he heard the commotion in front of him. Before going out, he ran into Mrs. Mei head-on, which startled him a lot.

He raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What are you running around for? Our family is now a wealthy family. Put away your startled and timid look. You are not ashamed, but I am ashamed. Get out of here."

Mei's hands and feet were so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "You, why did you get out of bed, you are not in good health, you should go back and rest more..."

Li Hong pushed her away, shook his hands in disgust and said, "I'm not sick, but I'm just a little tired, and I won't die, so why should I rest?"

He frowned and looked outside and asked, "What is going on outside, why is it so noisy?"

"Oh, yes, yes," Mei clasped her hands, sweating profusely, not knowing what to say.

Li Hong looked at her suspiciously, "What is it?"

"The tribe sent people to deliver things. The big hall sister and sister Liu didn't accept them, and they were just pushing the things back." Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun came in hand in hand, yawned and said, "The people have already been sent away. Second uncle , we are going to take a nap, so don't ask us to eat at night, leave some ingredients for us, we can make it ourselves when we wake up."

Li Hong's face darkened in an instant, and he scolded: "You little bastard who doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, he doesn't accept gifts for nothing..."

After finishing speaking, he responded to Li Baolu's words and pushed Mei Shi away, and ran in first in a aggressive manner.

As soon as Li He and Li Liu locked the door of the utility room, Li Hong ran over and scolded them both.

Listening to the scolding, Li Baolu turned her head and stuck out her tongue at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun nodded her nose, took her hand and went back to the house for an afternoon nap.
